During the temporary absence of a strong magnetic field, the earth was left without its protective shield; as a consequence, cosmic-ray particles that were normally deflected by the magnetic field could shower through the atmosphere. The result may have been the destruction, mutation or even creation of species. Scientists know that such reversals occur every 500,000 to 1,000,000 years. But they do not know exactly what causes them...

One local leaflet elaborates on the theme by tying it to Operation Cedar Falls, which razed V.C. farms and granaries in the Iron Triangle last month. "Are your rations scarce?" it asks. "Three hundred of you have rallied, and they are now where they can be well...
